Is there a building code in Turks and Caicos?

Yes; Turks and Caicos uses the International Building Code (IBC) and the Miami-Dade Building Code, making it one of the most robust building codes in the Caribbean. It’s the same code used in Miami-Dade except that the structural construction components in TCI are virtually all concrete, with little or no wood framing. All windows and sliding doors have hurricane-rated glass.
